artyfarty Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Some time ago I saw some photographs taken by an Industrial Photographer of the inside of the TCD Buildong. They were extremely evocative,and atmospheric. The photographer had captured the light coming in from the open doors and windows and although industrial photos were very artistic. Does anyone ( Stephen Nulty ? ) happen to have any of these images or know where I can find them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen nulty Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm not sure which ones you're referring to, but the BI commissioned Edward Chambre Hardman to produce a series of images in the 1930's. A google seach should turn up some results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffB Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Not sure I know the picture you mean Edward Chambre was a brilliant photographer - the National Trust now own his Liverpool house and studio there are loads of his images on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryM Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi All, I am new to this "blog?", but have connections with Prescot ( I went to the Grammar school between 1951 and 1958. I lived in Huyton Quarry , near the Enamelling Plant owned by BICC. In particular , my Dad and his brother both worked there. My dad had an interesting job. He did odd jobs in the morning. In the afternoons he painted murals in the offices of the management team!! Earlier he had a business buying the damaged drum sides from the BI, and we would split them apart and convert them into planks and spars of timber for sale. Some wood went into making crates for transporting chickens from a chicken farm on or near Windy Arbor Road,Whiston. Some went into seed trays for local garden nurseries, and the rest became kindling sold through greengrocers shops and hardware stores in the area. Even the sawdust was mixed with naphalene, and became firelighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
